Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of information contained in this booklet.

However, in the event of a discrepancy between this booklet and the governing City of Winnipeg By-law,

the By-law will take precedence.

This booklet is a guide to the type of plans that are required by the Plan Examination Branch when applying for a building permit to construct a “basic” new home. This booklet does not cover all code requirements. Reference should be made to the City of Winnipeg Building By-law and the Manitoba Building Code for the complete set of code requirements.

How many sets of plans will be required?Two sets of plans must be presented upon permit application.

Will the homeowner be required to obtain the services of a Professional Engineer?A professional engineer will be required to seal the plans when:a) there are any variations from the minimum standards

contained within the building code, OR;b) the construction involves the use of certain structural

components (eg. steel beams, glulam beams, microlam beams, LVL beams, I-joist floors, suspended wood floors, tall walls (walls exceeding 11 ft. 10 in.), pre-cast concrete/wood/steel brackets, pile foundations, etc.), OR;

c) where in the opinion of the Authority Having Jurisdiction the nature of the work is complex.

Does the building permit include any electrical or plumbing work that is being completed?The building permit does NOT include the electrical or plumbing work that is being done. Permits for this type of work must be applied for separately.

Who may apply for electrical and plumbing permits?Permits for electrical and plumbing work may be applied for by:a) the owner of a detached single family dwelling who will also

be the occupant and who will be performing their own work. The permits must be obtained prior to starting the work. Information on the plans required and code requirements for this type of work may be found in the brochures “Electrical Installations” or “Plumbing Installations”, or;

b) an electrical or plumbing contractor licensed by the City of Winnipeg.

n What information should be indicated on the site plan?The site plan should have the following information (see FIGURE 1):a) street names, lot dimensions, civic address, legal description, and

north arrow;b) dimensions from building to property lines (building to building

if applicable);c) on irregular shaped lots, dimensions from property lines to the

closest projections within side yards must be included;d) dimensions of all projections, such as alcoves, canopies, eaves,

decks, fireplaces, landings, steps, wing walls, etc.;e) locations of downspouts (DP) and sump pump discharge (SPD)

- the sump pump discharge outlet will not be permitted on the side of the foundation adjacent to a public sidewalk;

f) the dimensions and locations of accessory structures (examples are detached garages, sheds, air-conditioning units) that are included in the permit application;

g) the dimension, location and type of surface of existing and proposed approaches, driveways and vehicle parking areas;

h) construction accesses other than lane;i) location and dimensions of registered easements (eg. swales, land

drainage sewer/catch basin lead);j) the site plan paper size should be 8 1/2 x 11 in. or 8 1/2 x 14 in.

Note: The site plan and construction drawings must match.

What is required to be shown on the floor plan?This plan must have the following details (see FIGURE 2): a) size and type of rooms; b) location and sizes of windows, doors, closets, etc.; (see TABLE A below) Note: windows are not permitted in

walls that are located less than 1.2 m (4 ft) from the property line

c) if there is a fireplace/woodstove, indicate type and location; d) size of beam/lintel in wall openings, if required. e) wired-in smoke/CO alarm (SA) location - at least one required

per floor level, in each bedroom, and at locations between bedroom and the remainder of the floor level (ie. hallways)

*Note: 1) Each bedroom must have at least one outside window which provides an unobstructed opening of not less than 0.35 sq. m (3.77 sq. ft.) in area and no dimension less than 380 mm (15 in.).

What plans are required for the foundation and do these plans need to be engineered?A typical house foundation plan and details are shown in FIGURES 3, 4 and 5.

A non-engineered foundation plan will be accepted if the foundation meets the minimum code standards for wall length, wall thickness and reinforcement as shown in FIGURES 4 and 5. However, if you intend to use a variation of the design in FIGURES 4 and 5 or any of several other alternative designs including for example: piles, insulated concrete forms or a wood basement, a registered professional engineer must be retained to design and seal the plans. Additionally, a wood basement design will require that an engineer be retained to inspect and certify the installation.

on Is it essential to adequately ventilate a house?

Yes, it is important to have a properly designed heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to control condensation and maintain proper indoor air quality (IAQ).

This system design should be done by a HRAI Certified Designer, Professional Engineer or other designer with formal training in residential HVAC design.

Heat or energy recovery ventilators (HRV’S) shall be installed in all single and two family dwelling units.
